This
month’s Wallism was found in Wynn Lane, Brisbane, Australia. I have no idea who is the creator of this wonderful piece of Wallism (a shame).
It made me want to say something about hanging around and sometimes having one’s time
wasted waiting for

people who are horribly late or for the bus that never seems to comes.

So I found
this little poem. It appealed to me. Not sure if it is entirely apt but it is amusing.

This two
storey tall portrait of Australian journalist Peter Greste appeared on a wall
in Redfern about mid December and served the purpose of reminding us of the
plight of this unjustly imprisoned man.

Last week, at 1:00am (AUS EST) Peter walked through the doors of Brisbane
International Airport to the loving arms of his family and friends who did
every positive thing they could to restore his freedom,

which had been ripped from
him and his colleagues 400 days prior.

They never gave up hope.

Positive thought can change the world
if like-minded people can have a single focus on a specific outcome.

The notion
that we are helpless in adversity is not altogether correct.

An online magazine about all the things that one thinks are ordinary but are really extraordinary. It looks at interiors, styles, foods, objects, and just about anything that constitutes a beautiful internal life.
SHIFTAZINE has been created and developed by Jacqueline Hill over the past few years while she has been working in the world of visual communication. The overall design and art direction, images and text are created by Jacqueline Hill in the most part, although like minded friends contribute to the project from time to time.
This design venture is an attempt to find out if the new formats of visual communication can be successfully combined with the established processes and dissemination of information. Its a brave new world out there, where the old rules do not really apply and the new ones are still fuzzy. So Jacqueline is keen to experiment, create, communicate while bringing SHIFTAZINE to life.
SHIFTAZINE will hopefully be a vehicle to shift people's attitudes in a positive and constructive way - to become inventive and have some fun with reinventing.
